In order that organizational renewal can occur, two factors need to be in play at all times. These are:
• A compelling vision of the future
• An honest assessment of current reality
The gap between where the group wishes to be (vision) and where it finds itself today (current reality) causes a state of creative tension. As the necessary choices for positive change are made and committed to by the group, this dynamic of ‘creative tension’ is harnessed and can be utilized to help move thing forward to help realize the vision.
